Highball Ltd.

Tucked above Grand Central, this cocktail bar feels polished without becoming stiff. From the team behind Please Don’t Tell, it brings a confident sense of craft to Midtown, with an emphasis on highballs and spirit forward drinks made with real precision. The room nods to classic rail travel and old New York glamour, but the mood stays modern and easy. There is a sense of privacy here that works just as well for a quiet drink as for a more dressed up night out. It is a refined Midtown option when you want something more considered than the usual after work bar.
